Geluksburg is a small village in the Northern of Drakensberg in the KwaZulu Natal province in South Africa, located approximately 24 km from Bergville, close to Green Point and to the Free State border between the Oliviershoek and Van Reenen Mountain passes.

The word “Geluk” means ‘luck’ in Afrikaans and ‘Burg’ a town or residential area.

Accessible on gravel roads only, the hamlet is a haven for retirees, recluses, and refugees from the world seeking out its remoteness.

It’s also home to a handful of professionals like teachers and social workers and those who work remotely, including digital nomads, who proudly proclaim Gelukburg’s egalitarianism.

Some five families lost their way from Piet Retief’s primary group, and as a result sought refuge in this valley.
